I loved this episode, it supports my simple belief that we should always have compassion. I hope he can find compassion for himself, and that we all can find compassion towards anyone even the people who hurt us, because once I changed my thoughts from “this person is horrible” to “I don’t know why this person is doing this maybe they were hurt in some way or have some pressure/motives I cannot understand”, my fury was gone, and I had more space in my heart.

I tried to open but got a bug (will be my problem, will try later again). Did listen the podcast without view and liked listening to it. I don’t think it’s uncomfortable as Laura feels. You don’t ‘approve’ of his criminal acts and he himself says he’s not comfortable being admired so no, I like how different kind of people are being presented in your podcasts. Tnx
